Istanbul
Rum community constitute a very important part of the city’s urban
culture, everyday life and class structure. Rums has a population about
3.000 today and they are living in Istanbul. Istanbul Rum community lost
majority of its population through migrations. In this study, the Rum
community migrated from Istanbul to Athens during the period from the
1960s to the mid-1990s will be examined. This study, which is an ongoing
project, is based on oral history and in-depth interviews conducted
from different ages, social classes and gender. In this paper, the
relationship that the Rums, who have to migrate Athens, have established
with their city
they left behind will be addressed on the basis of space-identity. The
continuities and the breaking points observed in the traumatic
collective-individual memory that they carried as an emotional heritage
from Istanbul to Athens will be tried to be analyzed. The conceptuals
of the relevant literature, migration and identity, will be used as
analytical tools in order to analyze the qualitative data of the field.
